What is "apheresis"?
Apheresis is a medical procedure that involves separating and removing specific substances from a patient's blood. This process allows healthcare providers to target and manipulate elements such as plasma, platelets, or white blood cells for medical purposes. Apheresis can be used to treat conditions like autoimmune diseases, blood disorders, and certain infections by selectively removing harmful substances or elements from the bloodstream. This procedure helps to manage symptoms and improve overall health by changing the structure of the blood temporarily.
